An Examiner rcpreseI tltiye, by
courteous invit.t 90 of Mr.. w. W.
Scley, accompanied him, behind his
dashing roadster, on visit to the
llolgste rctriger atiug and preserving
establishment in East Waco, to note
the progress of the new and wonder
/ tul lIolgate gas preserving process An
extensive plant was found upon its
own side track between the main lines
OF the Missouri Pacific and the st.
Louis, Arkansas and Texas railroads,
and connecting with each at Il few
rods distant. bout $4,000
has already been expended in
this Waco plant, besides about $47-
900 spent elsew here i'll experiments
III periecting the process. The ma
chiHery WAS found of asuperior char
GCtt L, and most OF It specially design
ed tor this plant aud is now here else
to be found. y powerful boiler and
engine, large refrigerating machine
and a monster steam air pump prob
ably the largest in eXiStence) are
among tho attractions in the way of
machinery. The animals are sl4ugh-
tered in the usual approved manner
The Carcasscs are then sWitched into
n large cooling chamber i'll hjch the
,tmosphere is very dry, aud stood
Yesterday at 2l degrees Fahrenheit.
Alter standing thirty-siX hours and
becoming thoroughly chillcd tnr
half carcasses are switched luto a -
gantic cast iron receiver from which
the AR is completely exhausted. Ihe
meat l.. then Infused with au-hy-
drous gas by patented process, and
then wrapped III some kind of cau
vass or covering tor protection
against dirt, etc, which completes the
process. The meat is then loaded IN
ordinary freight cars, ike
so many sacks of wool or
flour, and is then ready for shipment
to any part of the world without
danger of spelling. The Holgate
process Is expected to supercede The
refrigerator process by reason of its
Cheapness, convenience and safety.
Any enterprlslng town, and some of
the large ranches, can afford a plant.
The saving in trelghts, storage, etc, is
enormous aud the quality and flavor
OF the meat greatly enhanced. Mr.
lIolgate is an enterprising, scholarly
and enthusiastic Eng lishman, educG-
ted in Christ's college, London, for
clergy man in the established church
OF England. His brother stuck to the
cloth aud is now bishop III Cey lon.
the professor flew Oft al tangent,
landed upon the plaius of Texas ard
the great range country
of the northwest and
made his debut in The cattle business
rs a COW -puncher. Thoroughly M
pressed with the great need OF local
markets upon the range for beef, he
began to utilize his scientific attain
ments in experiments looking tow ard
a cheaper de of Strengthening, pre-
serving aud transporting NEST from
the grower upon the western range
to the consumer III the east
After seventeen years OF practical eX-
pertinent, hard study, and the expenG-
iture of large amount OF money,
the professor is now very confident
that he has solved the knoity problem
and has one of the greatest bonanzss
of the age. 7 mI tl two fine beeves
were slaughtered yesterday, and are
now in the cooling room on their way
through the process, and will be
shipped, on order, to q big dressed
meat concern i'll Phlade lphia. The
same concern has laced here staud-
ing order for 10000 pounds (three
cars daily, in case the trial car goes
through satisfactorily. This will re-
Quire about 120 head of beeves per
day. n pen full of large tat hogs also
caught the eye OF the quillswinger,
and are awaiting their turn at the
shambles. Waco and Texas have
much ut stake upon this experimental
shipment Of Texas meat, Its success
wi pave the way to mammoth con
Germ right here, backed by millions,
and Will provide the long longed for
and much PRAYED for home market
for the products of Texas ranches
and farms, Houston Will have
to look to her hurtls or
Waco will ring in scoop on her and
gobble the highly priced and much
&C veted sugar p.um-the big Texas
market for fat slaughter stock. Al
| tie Waco people ask OF the stOckmen
Is, to furnish them at market prices,
prime fat beeves, mutton aud hogs in
sufficient quantity to keep the works
at work. Next to the return OF the
/ God-given seasons, to bless cid mother
earth, the success of this Waco err
terprise is the biggest thing floating
III the breezes for the people OF Texas.
THE EXAMINER prays and W Il ever
pray for full realization of so 9 lori
Gus consumbtion. The meat pro
ducers of the worl will rise up as
one man to bless their friend and be-
netactor, the plucky, persistent in
